Crossing the Mirror Line

Local poet Judith Willson will read from her first collection of poetry Crossing the Mirror Line.

Monday 19 November | 2.30pm The Library

Crossing the Mirror Line explores doubleness and the unsettling symmetries of mirrored reflections. Like the 18th-century artists’ landscape mirror that reconfigured the relationship between the viewer and what is viewed, the poems in Judith Willson’s first collection are concerned with the very act of looking, how it selects and transforms what is seen. Their landscapes are borders and boundaries, places shaped by the persistence of a past which still presses close to the surface, its meanings as unstable as the play of light.
